I saw a short story here and wondered, Do they all know each other? Or are they playing out their individual private moments in public? I was drawn to the girl’s physical presence, her slight swagger and best of all, her pride in still wearing her snorkel as she exits the water.

This photo was taken on my friend’s son first birthday party, i was invited as a guest but also as a photographer.So i was just enjoying the celebration and photographing people, Then i noticed this guy who has tattoos all over him and i saw a chance to take a snap.

Two young girls are lost in a reverie on the riverside. The photo was taken in Kolkata, India, on a late afternoon during the monsoon rains in August 2007. I used a Leica M6, Summicron 50mm f/2, on Kodak Tri-X 400ASA. I decided to tilt the camera to include the bathing man and the boat.
